Rent Textbooks & Binky Caricatures
Third and fourth winners of my 500th post caricature contest are up today. First is the loveable Binky from Peter Marinacci’s Wombania. Peter was too shy for a caricature so he asked the rocket and chocolate loving Binky to stand in for him.
Next up is the person that many thought was a spammer. I mean who goes by the name “Rent Textbooks“. Somehow I realized her comments were just a little smarter than a typical spammer so I kept her from the dump pile. It has paid off and now not only is she a regular commenter but she is allowing me to out her publicly on my site. First up is the caricature:
And the real her (in case you were wondering):
It didn’t help my cause that she sent me three completely different looks. ha She said she was a big fan of the water and the beach thus the setting.
Some final good news. So many times you see great bloggers and cartoonists give up the web for other things. One of them was one of the first followers of Beartoons, Brogan from Artic Blast Comic. Well I am happy to say he is back. The site url is the same but the name is changed to Inkee Doodles Studios. Go show him some love.

Hey, it’s me!
Great caricature, Beraman!
Now let’s see what this rocket can really do!
Chocolate POWER!!
You look really cute there Binky
Thanks, Kame, but I think most would vote Rent Textbook cuter!
That water looks very inviting!
But why does that fish have such a big smile?
Maybe he just farted
Bubble bath!!
Wonder where sea foam comes from?
Woot! Hey Bearman, what’s your secret. I never get pretty fan girls sending me their pictures. If I’m lucky I might get a photo of Bo Lumpkin in drag.
aww thanks!
That wasn’t me and I didn’t send it. That was a picture of my Aunt Floosy and we just resemble slightly. Her beard is darker than mine.
I’d send you my picture, but I’m not a girl. Or pretty. Or human. But cartoonist have to take what they can get.
JP. All you have to do is ask and they seem pretty willing.
Bo, I keep telling you to shave Aunt Floosy, esp her back.
Binky, you are such an art whore.
Thanks Bearman! I love it, and thanks for the kind words. Its hard to be “rent textbooks” and be taken seriously.
Now if you could figure out how to change your gravatar like I told you, all would be well.
I would never have guessed Binky liked chocolate.
Love ‘em both, Bearman – nicely done, sir!
(Great news about Brogan, to – I hadn’t heard about that)!
The chocolate thing is supposed to be a secret, but Beraman blabbed!
That’s only because you sent me a bunch of it in the mail and all that I got was wrappers.
I can’t help it if your mailbox isn’t squirrel-proof.
Just be grateful it wasn’t Vegemite!!!!
Trust me I am grateful…yech.
Fantastic work Bearman. Does this mean you are going to have to come up with new comic ideas next week?
I have enjoyed them all.
Sunday we are back to our regular political bashing of someone.
I love Binky. You did a great job on both.
Have a terrific day.
Thanks Sandee.
Great job! Binky will need a wing in a museum soon for ‘The Binky Collection’. Rent Textbooks looks great too. That’s a very clever name, but I would have thought it spam initially as well.
Museum currently under construction. . .
I need to start making people draw me all over the net too. I want my own wing.
But no one knows what you look like!
See me in my gravatar. Just like that but better looking.
Better looking? That’s rather difficult to believe.
I know. It is so good looking as it is.
Ground Control to Major Binky. Take your chocolate bar and put your helmet on!
Those fish sure know what they like! Love these, Bearman! Great color and fun.
Actually my helmet was made of chocolate and I accidentally ate it.
Don’t tell anyone but so is your rocket. It will begin melting pronto.
Now that’s gunna be a problem on re-entry
Perhaps he’ll land in the sea next to rent textbooks
I think JP is already in line for mouth to mouth.
These are excellent…so fun! I’ll admit I’m a tad bit envious. In case you’re wondering…I’ve always wanted to be a rodeo clown.
Don’t give me any ideas.
Binky needs to steer that rocket to Tasmania, I have a chocolate hankering. Excellent job of both Bearman. Very good likeness of Rent, or is it Miss Textbook? You have a real talent for caricatures.
Just call her RT unless you are on Twitter and everyone will think you are Retweeting.
Heading for Tasmania, but my rocket is melting!!
That sounds like a personal problem.
Come on Binky you can make it…
That’s not fair you did two in one which means……I’m friggin next!!!!! I will have to see if I can find any baby maggot photos
Oh that’s a maggot, I thought it was a mosquito.
It’s a March fly
Don’t underestimate yourself. you are a pest all year long.
They both look great! This is the only site where I get see what some of the best-known bloggers look like. Thanks, Bearmna!
yeah yeah yeah…I already did yours haha
I am jumping here (tho turtle can’t jump) from Binky’s blog. Just wanted to say, Binky looks cute there.
The story with Rent Textbook is interesting. I also have some spammer that doesn’t sound like a spam…tho none sent their photo
Spammers have been getting smarter and stealing bits of others comments so if you aren’t paying attention, they get through. Thanks for stopping by.
Binky look really good up there. So does text book. Great job, Bearman!
Thanks for stopping by Deb.
rent textbooks…. that’s a good one.
Now there is a spammer…lol
Great…now I have to leave it up there because you commented on him. haha
Binky looks cool on the rocket!
Just wondering where his seatbelt is.
I’m superglued to the fuselage.
I’ll get the scissors when you land.
Rockets, the future of transportation. You heard it here first folks. ><
I’m just waiting for the flying car they promised me as a kid.
I’m working on it, I’m working on it!
Hey there Bearman! Thanks for the show of love as I get back into the swing of things again! Looking forward to catching up on ur blogs again as well as your new stuff to come.
I am just glad you didn’t disappear in the blogosphere abyss.
Wasn’t there an episode of Mythbusters where they strapped a Wombie to a rocket?!
That was me! Buster was indisposed at the time.
Buster gets all the girls.
Plausible.
Great again, as usual… is there anything you can’t do?
Yes…profit off my talent.
Your caricature of “Rent Textbooks” is really pretty. This is extremely hard to do – an attractive caricature of a woman. You did really well. Did you make many versions?
Interesting that I got the look down the first time. Usually there are at least 20 renditions of a person before i am happy.
Thank you I like it a lot myself!
You better..hah
I like this caricature of Binky
You are really good in this kind of art.
Thanks Sabina
Good caricatures. I’m imagining mine right now (for – you know – when I win one), and it looks great!
It would be a mix between Tom Richmond and Tom Arnold I imagine.
Wombat plus chocolate! Perfect for my writing wombat friends. Enjoyed the caricatures, and enjoyed the trip to Inkee Doodles.
You have writing wombat friends?
You *sure* the reason you put her in a swim suit was because she said she liked the beach? Really? Hmm…
very awesome! that looks just like her! seriously, how the CRAP did you make me into a puppet.
ugh.
and YES, i’m turning this post into an all about me. Yes.
Did not my second attempt look like you??
